Explanatory Memorandum
CMI Limited ABN 98 050 542 553
Shareholder approval is being sought for the grant to Mr Buckley of 900,000 Performance Rights under the Performance Rights Plan for all purposes under the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.
- 3.2 Disclosures required pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.15A
ASX Listing Rule 10.15A requires this notice of Meeting to include the following specified information in relation to the Performance Rights which are proposed to be issued to Mr Buckley under the Performance Rights Plan. The performance measures relating to these Performance Rights are described below.
(a) Date the securities will be provided
If approved by the Shareholders, the Performance Rights will be granted to Mr Buckley within 28 days of Mr Buckley accepting the offer of Performance Rights but, in any event, no later than 3 years after the Meeting.
(b) Maximum number of securities to be provided
The number of Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Buckley was determined by having regard to the requirement for market competitive remuneration designed to retain the executive and which has strong alignment to the interest of the shareholders through generation of earnings per share (EPS) growth. Mr Buckley is to be issued 900,000 Performance Rights under the Performance Rights Plan pursuant to Resolution 3. If the Performance Rights vest and are exercised by Mr Buckley, the Performance Rights will deliver an equivalent number of Shares in the Company to Mr Buckley. Should
Mr Buckley become so entitled to Shares, these may be allocated to him via an employee share trust in accordance with the terms of the Performance Rights Plan.
(c) The price of the securities, performance measures and other matters
No price for grant or exercise
No amount is payable on the grant or exercise of these Performance Rights.
Performance measures
The vesting of the Performance Rights to Mr Buckley is to be divided into three parcels, Parcel A, Parcel B and Parcel C. The Parcel A Performance Rights, the Parcel B Performance Rights and the Parcel C Performance Rights will be subject to an earnings per share ( ePS ) performance hurdle. Each parcel of Performance Rights will also be subject to a performance hurdle that requires Mr Buckley’s on-going employment with the Company in the capacity of Executive Chairman or Director until at least the end of the relevant performance period for any Performance Rights in that parcel to vest.
Broadly, EPS measures the amount of earnings per annum per each outstanding share of a company’s issued capital. For the purpose of measuring the change in the Company’s EPS during a performance period (as described in the table below), the base EPS will be the Basic EPS as reported in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2014 ( Base ePS ).
A summary description of the Performance Rights, including the exercise price, performance hurdles and expiry date for the Performance Rights is as follows:

HOW TO COMPLETE THIS PROXY FORM
Your Name and Address
This is your name and address as it appears on the Company’s share register. If this information is incorrect, please make the correction on this form. Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes. Please note: you cannot change ownership of your shares using this form.
Appointment of a Proxy
If you wish to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If the person you wish to appoint as your proxy is someone other than the Chair of the Meeting please write the name of that person in the space provided in Step 1. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the Meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.
Votes on Items of Business – Proxy Appointment
You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes opposite an item of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses in respect of that item of business. If you mark more than one box opposite an item of business your vote on that item will be invalid.
However, if you wish to appoint as your proxy a Director or other member of the key management personnel of the Company’s consolidated group (other than the Chair of the Meeting) or a closely related party of a member of the key management personnel, you must specify how he or she should vote on Resolutions 1 and 3 by completing the “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” boxes opposite each of those items of business on the Proxy Form. If you do not do that, your proxy will not be able to vote on your behalf for those items of business. If you appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, but do not complete any of the boxes “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” opposite an item of business on the Proxy Form, the Chair intends to exercise your vote in FAVOUR of Resolutions 1, 2 and 3. If you wish to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as proxy with a direction to vote for, against, or to abstain from voting on an item of business, you should specify this by completing the relevant box opposite the item of business on the Proxy Form.
Appointment of a Second Proxy
You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the Meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning the Company’s share registry or you may copy this Proxy Form and return them both together.
To appoint a second proxy you must:
-
(a) on each of the first Proxy Form and the second Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of shares applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded; and
-
(b) return both Proxy Forms together.
